Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our Palworld hosting services
We never limit player slots - you can set as many as you want! However, you may experience performance issues with lower amounts of memory. Our plans can be upgraded or downgraded at any point to match your player count and performance needs.
Yes! You can customize all server settings including difficulty, PvP settings, day/night cycle, death penalties, and much more through our control panel.
You can add admins through the control panel by adding their Steam IDs to the admin list. Admins will have access to server commands and moderation tools.
Yes, we perform automated backups twice daily and retain them for 45 days. You can also create your own backups at any time through SFTP or the file manager.
Absolutely! You can upload your existing save files through our file manager or FTP. We can even help transfer over from another server provider - just open a support ticket and we'll assist you.
Yes, Palworld supports both PvE and PvP gameplay modes. You can configure PvP settings including damage multipliers and guild PvP options through the server settings.
Our One Tier approach gives you access to high performance hosting without an upsell. This means you get the performance you expect for less.
No. We use a fair-usage model instead of hard CPU caps, which means your server can use the resources it needs when it needs them - like during chunk generation or player surges. We actively manage our node health to make sure that burst capacity is always available. For full hardware details, see our server hardware specifications page in the help center.
Every plan includes a baseline storage allocation on NVMe SSDs, and if you need more, we'll increase it for free - just open a ticket. Automated backups are stored separately and don't count toward your allocation.
Yes, your server runs 24/7 regardless of whether players are connected. It's always available for players to join at any time. All servers include DDoS protection and are backed by a 99.9% uptime guarantee.

Niko R.
Guy who hosts for friends
Have been using this for years for hosting servers with my friends and family! Works great, and customer service is responsive. Pricing is good as well. Would definitely recommend!
Christopher J.
Switched over from another hosting service, won't name names, and it has been the best switch so far. One of the quickest and best supports. They even helped me get my world over to their site. 100% Will use for every game server I need.
Robert V.
Customer support was surprisingly fast. Payment invoice error and they cancelled it within 1minute of their chat.
Haydn T.
Cannot commend Brandon and the team enough, he got us all up and running since the mod we wanted to play wasn't on the one click install options. Would massively recommend winternode to those who aren't very competent at setting up Minecraft servers! 10/10
Nero N.
Great server hosting. Holds up mods perfectly and never experience lag or hiccups!
Ronald M.
Brandon helped me get my server changed over to a different game with zero friction. He also came to the rescue on troubleshooting a modpack that wasn't in their Modpack Manager utility yet and kept me in the loop every step of the way. Great, prompt, knowledgeable service.
Kayden J.
One of best servers to host from. Experience no lag whatsoever!
Jacob R.
This was a great service. It would consistently run smoothly for us as long as we refreshed it once a week. That being with 4 people spending an average of 4 hours a day of active playing/building. Super Great option if no one in your group has a reliable rig/connection to host with.
lilidicium
Server hosting experience was smooth, no complaints there, which is an automatic 4/5 stars. Once I read one of WinterNode's newsletters and realized that they don't take investor money and don't raise prices, that raised it to a 5/5. Please support them!
James H.
Fast, clear responses that have always been helpful
Martin C.
Very pleased with the help i have received from Brandon and Darius. I was losing my mind and about to give up after frustratingly trying to get my world save on to the new server host. I eventually managed to do it but with lots of amazing help. I would still be stuck without them and I am extremely grateful for everything. (side note: the price of the server for what you get is less than half of what i had already paid for from a different server host. i am glad i decided to find somewhere else even though i had already paid for the previous server for the month but the change is more than worth it to me.)
Radhiyya I.
I used this service from Indonesia to host a Discord bot, but unfortunately the server location is too far from my region. This resulted in higher latency and slower response times, which affected the bot’s performance, especially for real-time commands. The setup process was fairly straightforward, and the service itself worked as expected, but the distance to the server made it less ideal for my use case. For applications like Discord bots that rely on quick responses, server location plays a big role. In terms of uptime, there were occasional unexpected downtimes. However, I appreciate that the support team was quite responsive and helpful whenever issues occurred. It may still be a good option for users closer to their server regions, but for users in Indonesia, I recommend choosing a provider with servers in Asia for better performance.

good price, easy to setup, easy to mod, little to no interruptions
Sanya B.
Its just easy and works flawlessly, supports always good and affordable.

Site - 32 an SCP : SL Roleplay Server.
Excellent and dedicated support. When my server couldn't be set up properly due to an outside issue the support had done everything within their power, and I mean everything. As much as they couldn't resolve the issue, due to a issue to do with the official game makers!! Not to do with an issue with the providers of WinterNode, they had still exhausted all options until they were 100% sure that it was not an issue they could resolve, and directed me to the correct resources to have my issue resolved. The game panel is also incredibly easy to use and has some lovely design. With server info and diagnostics for memory usage and CPU usage very well displayed and quite quick with updates. WinterNode is also incredibly affordable for a good server plan, especially for new server owners. As well as customizable with the pricing - being able to switch between levels of RAM available to buy ranging from 2GB to 25GB typically. WinterNode also provides a nice range of countries to select for their servers, including the United States, Australia, United Kingdom, Germany, Finland and France. WinterNode also provides services for premium-tier Discord Bots, VPS Hosting, Game hosting and Web Hosting. For game hosting, WinterNode provides game servers from commonly large games including Minecraft, Terraria, ARK : Survival Evolved, Palworld and Hytale. Alongside less typically provided games, like SCP : Secret Laboratory which is what I am personally hosting using WinterNode. In my opinion WinterNode has easily outpaced larger service providers like Shockbyte, Bisect and other large titles. I would like to finish this by shouting out Darius from the support team, thank you for using quite the abundance of options you had attempted on my server. As much as it was not resolved, that can not be blamed on you but on Northwood (The creators of SCP:SL) haha.
OLD M.
very good serves and friendly staff 10/10

Minecraft Files
So many amazing things about WinterNode, First off the pricing is amazing I believe it’s the cheapest on the market and they hold up to the standards they say if I ask for 8gb of memory they gave me 8.2gb they are always making sure I get what I paid for! Next the best thing about it is there Quality of service and Friendliness!!! They respond in less then an hour and are willing to run you step by step and explain why they do the things the way they do it!! They are also really friendly probably the most friendly service I have ever had! I used a discord ticket and they got back to me within the hour! They helped solve problems and ran the extra mile to make sure it worked!!! Brandon helped me on discord that guy is so amazing kind and friendly Honesly you need to give him a raise!!! Best customer service ever!!!
Conner M.

Devin B.
After the fall of Ramshard, Winternode came to be our go-to server hosting for Minecraft. Support was quick, servers were always running, with no downtown and a lot of fun and easy setup. I would recommend Winternode to anyone looking to host some kind of video game server, especially Minecraft.
AhMilly
